Human rabies is mostly caused by the bite (scratch) of animals with rabies virus. The incubation period is as short as 10 days, as long as 2 years or longer, generally 31 to 60 days. 15% of the cases occur after 3 months, depending on the distance between the bitten part and the central nervous system, the degree of bite, or the dose of virus infection.
